Nigel Farage has sent shockwaves through Westminster as he announced he would stand down as an MP but then contest the seat at the by-election.

Is it all a stunt to distract from scrutiny over his financial support as opposition parties say?

On this weeks’ Talking Politics, Robert is joined by ITV News Political Correspondent Harry Horton to discuss what this means for Farage’s political future.

Labour say the saga is a ‘circus’, while the Tories accuse Farage of having a ‘hissy fit’.

Robert and Harry discuss whether Count Binface could finally make it to Parliament, and whether Farage will come out of all of this looking ‘silly’.
